Cribbing (or stump sucking) is a pernicious babit, largely the result of in- Su digestion ; but a good authority says that idleness and indigestion combined are the causes. The fact is cited that M old horses . sometimes take it up, and co - * !! horses of all ages are ape to ao so u lh tied beside a cribber; but iu every ha case such idleness seems to be the th prerequisite. A horse kept in a stable an for several weeks is especially apt to of acquire it. H There are many devices in vogue for jp the cure of cribbing, such as a piece of pf buffalo robe or of iron nailed on the th edge of the manger, red pepper smear- bt ed over the latter, a small strap around de the throat drawn very tight, etc. But Tl the most effectual plan is to tie him in ca a wide stall with a line from each side fli to keep bim in the centre, and feed er him on the floor. Some horses, how- bt ever, will crib lying down ; or, if tied yc too short to reach the floor, will crib th on their own knees. Cases so invete- es rate, however, are not curable. yt Give internally as treatment for the H stomach, the following: Two ounces M bicarbonate of soda; 1 ounce gentian E root, powdered ; 2 ounces lineseed oil, ri< and mix thoroughly. Give a teaspoon- W; fu! morning and night in soft food, and fa give plenty of exercise. Old, long- jn standing cases are obstinate; but those ed more recent may generally be cured su by the above treatment if persevered j. in- tr Avoid long continued idleness, and el also overfeeding on strong heating tw grain. A horse kept iu health should a be exercised every day, fed according S[ to the work performed and given m plenty of salt. Remove the manger to from bis stall and feed him on the hs floor, tying him so he cannot reach 0f either side. If he cannot be cured by pj the above treatment, it is a hopeless vvi case. ra to Married Life.?A girl thinking tw seriously of her future husband does uot lay great stress on good temper. A soldierly form, a pair of fine eyes, a _r noble mouth?any of these might jQ easily outweigh good temper. Yet one writer assures us that "after the first or year married people rarely think of each other's features, whether they are pr classically beautiful or otherwise; but ce they never fail to be cognizant of each te other's temper." wl As to a husband's fortune, it is not ^ so important as the qualities which t0 lead to fortune?ambition, deterraina- ge lion, industry, thrift and position such as a man may attain for himself. In zj( n ??? oL/miI/1 Wn a t luatif liic m euuuuiiuu a uian ouuuiu uv av ^ wife's equal. Undoubtedly there is eu some sublime affinity between oppo- je( sites. Yet there must be likeness as <??| well as unlikeness. The latter will ^ lend piquancy which is pleasant; but the former will give peace, which is ye essential. At first love itself will be all-sufficient; but a little later, the g0 individual characteristics re-assert m, themselves, and then, in the absence of fei comprehension and sympathy in one's m pet taste's and theories, a barrier m spriugs up, slight, unconfessed, per- aj haps; but still impassable, and in one tj, sense at least, man and wife are not "one," but distinctly "two." Lh w Removing Warts From Horses.? pi Clarence Muir, a young horseman, m gives The Farmers' Home Journal the ro following remedy for the cure of warts on horses: d? "Take about four leaves of strong E cured tobacco, place them in a vessel, ci pour about one-half gallon of water Qe on them, place on the fire, letting it gc boil down to a strong juice and apply y< to the wart. Always pick the wart so pi as to make it bleed before the applica- tb tion, that it may strike into the fungus sb growth. A few applications will soon be do the work; gradually the enlarge- sh ment will decrease and disappear as if in by magic. As an evidence of its efficiency, some years ago a horse that we drove had a bleediug wart on his back ? that the lines kept continually bleed- aj. ing. It was aoout tne size ot a wai- jc nut, with a neck about the size of c0 one's index finger. I would occasion- 0f ally sprinkle a few crumbs of tobacco on it from my pocket, and the wart jj went away. I have removed warts q as large as a pint cup from horses' legs by taking the tobacco leaves, dip- c0 ping them in hot water and binding ge them to the affected part. Try it and you will be rewarded for your ^ trouble." gC A Remedy For Cattle Choked.? p| Take a fine-cut chewing tobacco, d( enougn to make a ball the size of a n hen's egg. Dampen it with molasses Wl so it adheres closely; elevate the aniraal's head, pull out the tongue, and at crowd the ball as far down the throat w as possible, Iu 15 minutes it will Ti cause sickness and vomiting, relaxing ? the muscles. Potatoes, or whatever l0 may be choking, it will be thrown up. ar It is an almost absolute certainty that ><_ the tobacco will cause the relaxing of w the muscles and consequent throwing qt up of the contents of the stomach, gj and a cure is just as certain as a re- fr, laxation. The laying of moistened u, tobacco upon a person's stomach with lockjaw, relaxed them and saved the fi, patient. It must not be kept on so w long, however, as to cause deathly |0 sickness.?G. J. Hinnbuecher. gj hj Chronic Diarrhea.?Mis. E. J. sh West, iu Globe-Democrat, says : Take wi 12 drops of castor oil on blackberry St wiue every six hours and 8 drops of er turpentine on milk or wine every six sa hours. Arrange it so that every other "I dose will be oil. I was cured of chron- st( ic diarrhea of eight years' standing |y with oil and turpeutiue. You will wi have to be patient and take it six fai months. I took everything for eight H years and got no relief uutil I tried ac the oil and turpentine. br * ? ? ac T/\ T/" t r r T rnt?

Washington Star. * ic- The absorbing topic in military cir of cles today was the power of China to ill carry on a protracted war. Quite a :a- uumber have an idea that the Celestial er Empire has great resources and that as she will prove to be a most formidable ed enemy wbeu fighting begins on a large in scale. This view of the situation has been 0. brought about because of a lack ol of kuowtedge or conuiuons in <juma, Qg rather than because of any positive | l8t information. The great empire is still y. an unknown quantity even to those ue who are best iuformed on its conditions 0I and resources. It is understood that -e. the bureau of military information of |e. the war department is greatly lacking 3e in any definite idea of what the ChiJ(j nese army really consists of. er Indeed its very form of organization $ JD is but poorly understood. Geuerali- k lies are known and but little else. iZ There is uot the thorough understaud0f ing of the questiou that would allow I ,3. oue to judge something of the military { r. capability of the Cbiuese people, t Q The military bureau is now eugaged J ;)j iu the preparation of a map of Chiua / jy for military purposes; but it is uot y0 likely that the map cau be completed ue within a mouth. t 0f Men who know China well and who i e. have lived in that country are not in- [ tj0 cliued to give credence to the wild l sn speculations over the military possi- lA y. bilities of China in a war to be carried lW on in the near future. They declare ]t that, while Chiua would be enormously v (j' powerful with an unlimited store of * arms and ammunition and with such a iX discipline as her troops might secure S n. by vigorous action during a term of b re. five or ten years, yet that country is 3j helpless because of a lack of discipline p j i and the possession of a very limited 3(j amount of arms. They believe that 3(j the Chinese being something of a mys,i8 tery themselves, are able to impress the es sensational mind with an indescribable be power, yet they have no confidence in A the materialization of uny such power ay in the near future. 0f There has been a good deal of ex at aggeration in regard to China's ability ]d to manufacture her own arms. The Jp fact is that bo far as is known to wellre informed men here there were but two sets of arsenals in China for the man. ufacture of arms before the present ~1! 1^r. mnvamarif hrntp mil Thpse *ss arsenals are loeated near Tien Tsin and 'e' near Canton. The Tien Tsin arsenals ? an * . have been destroyed and now only a those shops at Canton are in operation. ? Pe The fact that the Chinese troop out- ? . side of Tien Tsin have possessed mod- 0 , e ern arms and artillery, and have shown r' that they are under military discipline, 5s has little effect on the view taken by s ? those who do not believe that China j possesses any great military strength. Q, They believe that throughout the vast a , empire there is probably no other army a, equal to that now being used outside a, of Tien Tsin. Men who take this view of the situation believe that a serious mistake may be made by the powers a^ in regarding China as really well pre? pared for defense and allowing them. selves to proceed too cautiously. They ' believe that vigorous action on the part of a comparatively small force | will show better results than are gen*' erally expected. d' Founded 1842.
